This is a states rights issue and the SCOTUS should have ruled it that way.

States have no more legitimate authority to define marriage than the courts do. Marriage is what God defined it to be, in the very beginning.

Agreed. States should be deciding this. Anytime SC gets involved, politics make the ruling (not that it doesn't in the lower courts, but at least those are local).
they should, however, be releasing the write-up and an explanation of their actions for the record.

As I recall, they did. That is how they struck down the Defense of Marriage Act.
Now that lower courts are saying that bans on the marriage of men to men or women to women is unconstitutional, they refuse to rule in line with their earlier ruling, but refusing to rule.
This is judicial tyranny.
